Abstract
Dendritic cell cancer vaccines have already become a treatment modality for patients with various cancer types. However, the curative potential of this immunotherapy is limited by the existence of negative feedback mechanismsthat control dendritic cells (DCs) and T-cell function. By inhibiting the expression of inhibitory factors using RNA interference technology, a new generation of DC vaccines was developed. Vaccine-stimulated T cells showed antitumor effects both in vitro and in cancer patients. Here, we describe the development and validation of a fully GMP-compliant production process of ex vivo DC cancer vaccines combined with the blockade of immunosuppressive pathways using small interfering RNAs. The protocol can be used for DC-based therapy forall cancer types.
